Fancy running off a few calories before the New Year’s celebrations get under way? The 10th San Silvestre Golden Mile Playa de las Américas takes place on Thursday, 31 December, giving runners a chance to finish 2026 with a bit of exercise.
Organised by the Arona Municipal Sports Board, the popular race starts at 10am on Avenida de las Américas in Playa de las Américas.
The main event is a 5km run, open to those wanting to enjoy a festive race rather than worry too much about the stopwatch. There are also children’s races for youngsters aged 5 to 15, making it an option for families who fancy getting involved.
Registration and entry fees
Entry costs €5 for both the 5km race and the children’s events. The adult race entry fee is scheduled to rise to €10 from 23 November, so anyone planning to take part may want to register before then.
Registration is open until 22 December 2026 at 10.59pm Canary Islands time.

Whether you’re a regular runner or simply fancy finishing the year on a high, it’s a lively way to round off 2026 before the celebrations begin.
